OUR NATURAL ADVANTAGHs.

OUR NATURAL ADVANTAGES.
If any Of our citizens were too short
or near-sighted to understand or BE-
lieve in the great natural advantages
possessed by our city and the brilliant
future before her, they must most as
suredly be now convinced by the action
Of the large body of real estate dealers
from Kansas City, who have been with
US but few hours, yet who have in
these few hours Of observation signi-
ned their positive belief in our future
prosperity by the strongest and best
test-the unhesitating expenditure of
cash in Emporia real estate. Probably
no set of men in the entire country il
better able to form correct judgment
or make better estimate than these
gentlemen, who have made it their
business to deal in real estate only for
the purpose Of realizing a good
percentage on the money expended.
Were they at all doubtful they would
have come looked over our beautiful city
and gone back without purchasing. But
the list of transfers made to strangers
yesterday and to-day shows that they
have confidence. It also shows that all
that is necessary now to rapidly adj
vance the interests of this place is to
see that proper attention is given to
letting the world at large know just
where Emporia is and just what we are
now, as well as what we have on hand
that points to an assured and prosper
Gus future. Get the people to come
here and look over the situation, and
the city and her resources will speak in
such a manner that the strangers will
need no urging to remain.

18S7.-Dear Sir: AS saw an article
going the rounds of the papers to the
effect that q man that was rescued
from the Inflated steamer Griffith some
where about forty years ago wanted to
find the man that rescued him from
that boat. I viii now inform him
through your paper If you see fit to
give it room therein. His rescuer's
name was Jacob Lamoreaux. He lived
right on the lake shore, where the boat
came ashore. He was the first man to
the scene and saw the young lad hang
ing to chain at the wheel house and
he swan out and took him OF Just be-
fore the breeze from the shore took the
boat back into the lake. If the man
wants to know all the particulars about
his finding his relatives, if he will write
me will give him a correct statement
of all that happened at the time, for
my brother was one Of the men that
got the bodies from the lake and buried
them. Please let me hear from you If
it interests you. got my information
in regard to you from the editor Of the
Cleveland Leader, who wished me to
write you and he said you could tell me
where to write the man, himself. /

fair. My brother and wife are dead.

TIE TNTERSTATE

The New York Times calls attention
to marked change in the current Of
the grain carrying traffic which is of
special interest to grain growers of the
west and northwest. It states that in
March, 1886. there were no exports of
wheat by way of New Orleans, but last
month half million busheles were ex-
ported through that city. Thecompar-
ison is more striking as the period is
extended. In the first nine months of
the fiscal year 1856, $500 bushels
were exported by way of New Orleans,
against 2 ,252, 600 bushels for like Pc
riod during 1867. The disparity, re-
marks the Times, is too great to be ex-
planned in the theory that New Orleans
merely shares in the general increase
due to the larger exports of the current
season, and on looking farther it APP
pears that San Francisco is the only
port showing smaller exports than last
year, and that, too, by about the amount
of the gain made by New Orleans. In
March, 1886, 8, 37S, 500 bushels of wheat
were shipped from San Francisco, and
last month only 1,241 ,O7S. That the
change is comparatively recent appears
from the fact that for nine months San
Francisco shows an increase like all
the other export centers, although a
disproportionately small one. The ex
ports of Indian corn show a decrease
for each of the five export centers ex-
cept New Orleans. Its gain is less
than half a million bushels, it is true,
but considering the circumstances, it is
more or less like water running up hill.
The aggregate exports Of wheat and corr
also show marked changes in compari-
son with last year. For March the ex-
ports of wheat were 1922, 1888 bushels
against 5 ,19s, 746 in 1885, and during the
nine months ending with March, the
increase was from "a ,7s5. 243 bushels to
70 ,257 ASS. But maize shows decrease
from S,0s1 ,4S1 bushels for March, 1885
to $3.50, 100 last month, and for the
nine months from A ,597 ,371 to 3O,535,

company is one Of the largest manufact-
uEers Of geared wind mills, and they ship
them to every part Of this country and
Canada, and to many foreign countries.
While they have manufactured thousands

large trade in that direction, and are

line, yet they make their greatest claims
on their geAred mills, and judging from
the hundreds OF testimonials shown US

from purchasers having their mills in use
continuously for the past two to twelve
years, they certainly have q mill to be
proud Of, and one that every farmer
could buy with profit.
The greatest trouble among manufact-
urers has been to keep the face OF the
wheel squarely to the eye OF the wind,

wheel to creep, swerve or veer round

KENTUCKY is nothing if not novel
in her political expedients. A CORES
pondent reports the following incident
in the democratic convention that NOM
mated General Simon Bolivar Buckner
for governor:
At this exciting juncture a lady, fol-
lowed by a colored maid carrying a
chubby-cheeked babe in her arms, was
noticed walking up the main aisle to
ward the boxes. The whole convention
burst forth into a wild cheer, and the
hall was soon resounding with cries of
''Hurrah for Betty and the baby" The
lady was General Buckner's young Vir-
ginia wife. The baby was his one
year-old son and heir. Baby, sturdy
| little fellow, was clad in a finely en-
broidered white robe, and carried a
plebeian tin rattle-Dox in his hand.
Mrs. Buckner is brilliantly beautiful
| brunette, with the brightest of eyes
| and whitest of teeth. She was attired
| in wine-colored dress and a tall hat
| of the same color, surmounted by a
| snow-white feather. Betty and the
baby" were ushered into the upper box
/ to the right of the platform. The col
ored nurse sat the baby on the edge of
the box, where he could see and be seen
/ by the entire convention. The young
ster seemed to enjoy his conspicuity
and popularity hugely, and kept time
to the music of the band with his tin
| rattle-box.
